Ashridge was in magnificent condition for our visit this year!

We brought the timing forward from the end of June to mid-May this year to accommodate the Moor Park Charity Event and the Rhododendrons were in full flower as a result making the course even more picturesque than usual. Many thanks to all at Ashridge who once again looked after us brilliantly!!

25 members and 11 guests attended and thoroughly enjoyed the buffet lunch, 18 fantastic golf holes and the delicious 3 course meal afterwards.

Well done to all!!

A great day out was had by 18 members and 15 guests playing the old course at Burhill, a new venue for EPIC and one I'm sure we'll return to next year!

A ploughman's lunch greeted guests and members alike followed by a sort game clinic prior to the main event starting at 1.10 from the first tee.

The short game clinic didn't seem to assist many players as the scores lay testament to the difficulty of the read and speed of the greens - fast and with some amazing borrows!!

Burhill Golf Club and their staff were magnificent throughout the day and we were treated to a great 3 course dinner in the clubhouse.

We received a complimentary driver from the cancelled golf tour to La Baule this year and Captain Iain supported by committee elected to raffle that for Ken Adams's chosen charity Rosie's Rainbow Trust. The driver was won by guest (soon to be member, we hope) Stewart Kirkwood. The raffle raised an amazing £590, congratulations to all who participated.

Left over from the AGM 2020, the following
Neil Blundy - Last years Captain presented Robert Seeley with his replica trophy for his win at the La Cala Tour 2019 - See below

After dinner Captain, Iain Stevenson, presented prizes for Burhill as follows. - See below

Guest Glen Payne - Nearest the Pin - See Below

Steven Barker - Nearest the Pin in 2 - See below

Suzanne and John Biscoe - Team Prize - See Below

The Guest Prize was won by Tony Humberstone playing off 9 with a magnificent 37 points. Tony was unable to stay for dinner.

Iain Stevenson (2nd on 34 points and losing to) Gavin Tuck presented the Captains' Cup to him having lost on count-back!!! Well done Gavin Cut 2 and bad luck Iain Cut 1!!
Thanks to all who attended and a reminder that we hope to keep the event at Abridge 15th October 2020 live following HMG's latest Covid changes. More later!!!

SPORTING SPEAKER OF THE YEAR 2019
A message for Ken Adams – Event organiser.

The EPIC Golfing Society had a fantastic networking event at The Brewery on Friday 22nd November.

The guest speakers were Geoff Hurst, Graeme Swann and Will Greenwood, all of which were outstanding. The food, wine and company was first class! Definitely an event to remember and repeat in the future. I am pleased to announce we had 21 attendees which provided a great opportunity to network, which is exactly what EPIC’s is all about. I hope that next year all EPIC members will support this event with greater numbers as I truly believe that all members would benefit from the experience.

Sandy Lodge proved to be a great test although the greens were slower than on our previous visits.

The weather was fair and mainly sunny and warm, just a drop or two of rain but we didn't get wet!!!

There was some good scoring with Charles Gjertsen and his guest Brian Christian winning the team prize with 47 points from Ken Adams supported by his guest Andy Ritchie on 45 points

The Guest Winner was Andy Ritchie on 38 points playing off 9.

The Autumn Cup for EPIC Members was hotly contested with Paul Houghton (38 points) (cut 1) losing out on count-back to Neil Meixner (cut 2).

It is a credit to Paul Houghton who declared his latest club handicap as 5 not the 6 as previously recorded, but it reminds us that it is the responsibility of all golfers to declare changes to their official handicaps at events.

It was therefore gratifying that Paul Houghton should win the nearest the pin with guest Richard Draper picking up the nearest the pin in two prize

We all enjoyed an excellent dinner provided by the Club. Sandy Lodge has become a firm favourite of EPIC and we shall return again next year.

Please remember to put 8.30am for 9.30 tee off on 27th October 2016 in your diary for the East Herts event. Our traditional last qualifying event of the year.

We wish the 2016 Tourists a great time in Spain and hopefully we'll see them and you at East Herts.
